Ulawun volcano is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano. These volcanoes are known for their steep-sided conical shape and are composed of layers of hardened lava, volcanic ash, and pumice. Stratovolcanoes are typically associated with explosive eruptions due to the viscosity of their magma.
Ulawun in Papua, New Guinea has been nearly constantly active for the past decade. Volanologist estimate that this single volcano is responsible for about 2% of the sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere.
Australian and Pacific Plates. They are Convergent Boundaries. When the australian and pacific plated collide, magma forms from melted chipped off pieces and forces its way to the surface triggering a volcano. Im just researching this volcano too :) hope this hepls
Yes, Old Faithful is not a volcano. It is actually a geyser located in Yellowstone National Park, known for its regularly erupting columns of water and steam.
Mayon Volcano is estimated to be around 20,000 years old.
